It was another 15 minutes riding paradise at dusk this evening... wheel stands... backing it in... jumping curbs... skidding about... having fun.
That's what it's all about.

Game On But Off
Some Moto Wheelie Sessions are an exercise in tenacity, just to get out there and be doing it. Today was one of those days.

Have No Fear
Abandoning the mental concept of losing control while deep into the wheelie zone is essential. Have no fear. Everything will turn out alright. I just have to trust that I am able to respond, react even, to whatever comes up mid-wheelie.

Only Wheelie On The Days You Eat
It was noon on a Saturday. What was I doing with my life? What was the big picture? Nevermind all that! I had to focus on something special, something that really mattered in the moment -- wheelies. Big. Fat. Wheelies.
It was another classic turning point day in my development. After viewing some videos of the east coast dirt bike riders on urban streets, I realized that I'd still had fear about going so far over the balance point on my WR250R, that I'd not be able to recover. And that can't be the case. Because those urban dirt riders can scrape their fenders on the ground. And it they can do it, so can I.
To date, today's Moto Wheelie Session was the best yet. Ever. I took my big, hairy, balls to my favorite parking lot... and got way, way, up there. It finally feels like my bicycle skills are transferring to motorcycles!

Third 1000 Wheelies
Last week, my Another 1000 Wheelies Project ended. It was a personal project that took almost two years to help me further develop my motorcycle wheelie skills. It worked. I can pull better motorcycle wheelies now.
Why stop documenting motorcycle wheelies once a couple thousand are counted? Sure, I've pulled many more. But the point is to make a record of progress... and to chase that ultimate life goal.
The quest for the Ultra Wheelie continues.
The first wheelie session of my Third 1000 Wheelies occurred.
